HELLO EVERYONE!

Hello one and all.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog, usually I post a few of them a month.  I’ve been busy it would seem passing tests, taking courses, reading more and more books, starting a new job at Crunch gym on Lafayette st as an Elite Trainer, updating my website and all the while taking care of the normal stuff… except my blog obviously ;)

I want to thank all of you people who support my blog and read it so often, I hadn’t come in quite a while and I was surprised and very pleased to see how many hits I was getting.  I’ve heard a lot over the past month and a half about how much people appreciate this blog and I want to thank you all for the kind messages, I have received them and I will continue writing and sharing with you as often as possible.  I started this blog because I wanted to provide some place where people could obtain information about health and the best approaches that they could take to transform their body and I am very thankful and happy to see that that is happening.

I have to say, all this new education I’ve gotten has created lots of room for discussion on topics that I normally would not touch on, so expect some very good stuff over the course of the next few months.

I am now and officially, according to the National Academy of Sports Medicine, a Corrective Exercise Specialist and a Performance Enhancement Specialist…  Ok, great title Des, what the hell does that mean???

First off, these two certifications were designed for athletes to keep on top of their training on and off season and through injuries.

Corrective Exercise Specialist – This is a modality designed by the National Academy of Sports Medicine to correct postural deviations that typically lead to injury or in many cases can be used as a form of therapy to any injury.  I did post a blog on this a while ago, I recommend you scroll through and check it out.  It’s really good stuff.

Performance Enhancement Specialist – This certification is quite interesting and I am still learning alot around it.  The most interesting part is that partway through the training session people experience a “high”/adrenaline rush which honestly makes you feel stronger and more powerful than you’ve ever felt before in your life!  I’ve gotten addicted to exercise before, but this takes it to a whole new level and the people I train in this modality seem to go into overdrive when they are drenched in sweat and get totally insatiable for more exercise!  As I learn more I will provide it, but it definitely centers around exercising the body from the inside out.

Anyway, thank you for keeping in the loop.  I promise to deliver more useful information as time permits and I promise to continue to be committed to my own education and giving you as much of it as I can.

Ciao!
